Abstract

Cardiac macrophages (cMΦ) are critical for early postnatal heart regeneration and fibrotic repair in the adult heart, but their origins and cellular dynamics during postnatal development have not been well characterized. Tissue macrophages can be derived from embryonic progenitors or from monocytes during inflammation. We report that within the first weeks after birth, the embryo-derived population of resident CX3CR1+ cMΦ diversifies into MHCII+ and MHCII− cells. Genetic fate mapping demonstrated that cMΦ derived from CX3CR1+ embryonic progenitors persisted into adulthood but the initially high contribution to resident cMΦ declined after birth. Consistent with this, the early significant proliferation rate of resident cMΦ decreased with age upon diversification into subpopulations. Bone marrow (BM) reconstitution experiments showed monocyte-dependent quantitative replacement of all cMΦ populations. Furthermore, parabiotic mice and BM chimeras of nonirradiated recipient mice revealed a slow but significant donor contribution to cMΦ. Together, our observations indicate that in the heart, embryo-derived cMΦ show declining self-renewal with age and are progressively substituted by monocyte-derived macrophages, even in the absence of inflammation.

Figure 4. Monocytes contribute to four cMΦ subpopulations in adult mice. (A) WT mice were lethally irradiated and reconstituted with BM from Ubow:CX3CR1GFP/+ mice. cMΦ were analyzed for contribution of dTomato+ cells at indicated time points after reconstitution and graft-derived cells were analyzed for CX3CR1 and MHCII expression. Data are presented as mean percentage ± SEM (n = 3–7) and derived from two independent experiments. (B) Mixed BM chimeras were generated by reconstituting lethally irradiated WT mice (CD45.1/CD45.2) with BM from CCR2−/−:CX3CR1GFP/+ (CD45.2) and WT CX3CR1GFP/+ (CD45.1) mice. cMΦ, circulating CD11b+CD115+ monocytes (Ly6C+ and Ly6C−) and B220+ B cells were analyzed for WT (CD45.1) and CCR2−/− (CD45.2) contribution. Host- and graft-derived cMΦ were analyzed for the ratio of MHCII+/MHCII− cMΦ. Bars show median (n = 4). *, P ≤ 0.05, Mann-Whitney test. (C) Parabiosis was established between adult CCR2−/− (CD45.2) and WT (CD45.1) mice. After 10 wk, CCR2−/− mice were analyzed for contribution of CD45.1+ non-host cells to cMΦ (total, MHCII+, and MHCII−), circulating monocytes (Ly6C+ and Ly6C−), and B cells. For CD45.1− host and CD45.1+ non-host cMΦ, the ratio of MHCII+/MHCII− cMΦ was calculated and compared. Bars show median (n = 4). **, P ≤ 0.01, Mann-Whitney test.

Bars show median (n = 6). **, P ≤ 0.01, Mann-Whitney test. Data in all panels are representative of two independent experiments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
